Episode 801: "Spiritual Abuse and Manipulation"

Southside Tribe! We are back and Season 8 is in full effect! In this timely episode, KB and Ameen dive deep into the unfortunately recurring theme of manipulation, deceit and abuse within social structures, particularly churches and Christian organizations. Starting with the Garden of Eden, they discuss how humankind's first interaction with manipulation was with the serpent. From there, they discuss a revealing study on highly competent, good-natured individuals stuck in abusive relationships due to their own virtues. The conversation extends to how manipulation and deceit appear in leadership roles, the vulnerability of well-intentioned people, and practical advice on when and how to run from toxic environments. They call for honesty, accountability, and the importance of good community, emphasizing the calling of God's people to never be complicit in abuse.
